it's so good to see a blog on Lesley College. more than 10 years ago, i was a psych instructor who was longing to study expressive arts therapies, and lesley was my first choice to go. i treasured the lesley catalogues i got in the mail, the pictures of the campus, the faculty, the students, the classes. :)
but life brought me elsewhere. i landed in the m.a. counseling psych course here in our ateneo de manila, where i was most lucky to meet and learn from the philippines' foremost clinical psychologist, dr. ma. lourdes carandang. fortunately, she encouraged our creativity, and we all ended up learning to use play, art and expressive therapies in our work!
i would still love to see lesley one day. :)
best regards!
